Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

I see both Ad-Aware Antivirus and Microsoft Security Essentials installed. They are likely causing conflicts by trying to access the same system files or use the same system resources simultaneously.

Crashes are pointing to memory problems or driver conflicts.

If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.

Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

Warning

Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer.WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!

For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:

Shut down and turn off your computer.

Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)

Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.

Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

An underlying driver may be incompatible\conflicting with your system. Run Driver Verifier to find any issues. To run Driver Verifier, do the following:

Put a tick in Create custom settings (for code developers) and click next

Put a tick in Select individual settings from a full list and click next

Set up the individual settings as in the image and click next

Put a tick in Select driver names from a list

Put a tick next to all non-Microsoft drivers.

Click Finish.

Restart your computer.

If Windows cannot start in normal mode with driver verifier running, start in safe mode. If it cannot start in safe mode or normal mode, restore the system restore point using System Restore OPTION TWO.

If you are unable to start Windows with all drivers being verified or if the blue screen crashes fail to create .dmp files, run them in groups of 5 or 10 until you find a group that causes blue screen crashes and stores the blue screen .dmp files.

The idea with Verifier is to cause the system to crash, so do the things you normally do that cause crashes. After you have a few crashes, upload the crash reports for us to take a look and try to find patterns.

When you are ready to disable Verifier: Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right click Command Prompt -> Run as administrator -> Type the following command and then Enter:

BSOD randomly occurring, BCcode 124Hi
I have BSOD randomly occurring, seems to be unrelated to the software running on the computer. I've read BCcode 124 is a bit of a tricky error to analyze. I do however hope you're able to help. I'm also having difficulties upgrading with the SP1 update (KB976932 error 0x80070490). I know this...

Randomly occurring BSOD, becoming more frequentThis computer's first BSOD was a few months ago, but they have been getting more frequent, along with random freezes.
They usually come in succession, so I will get 2 to 3 BSODs in an hour and then none for a few days.
Thanks.

BSOD occurring randomlyRan Memtest86+ but no errors were detected; I've also tried updating a few drivers but so far nothing's worked. Sometimes I get the BSOD; other times my computer just restarts randomly. I don't remember installing anything recently that could be the cause of this.
I run Windows 7 Home Premium...
